ACTS 17:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”
For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed — He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead — The proclamation of judgment through Christ hinges on the resurrection: anastasis (raising up) becomes the validating proof (pistis, proof or assurance) of eschatological judgment. Resurrection is not merely personal hope but cosmic legal evidence.
